1. Fourteen British yachts started
against America; Aurora finished second.

2. Cambria sailed against 23 U.S.
yachts and finished tenth.

3. Columbia was disabled in the
third race, after winning the first two; Sappho substituted and
won the fourth and fifth.

4. Shortly after Dennis Conner and his
60-foot, twin-hulled catamaran easily defeated the challenge of the
New Zealand, a 133-foot, single-hulled yacht in the waters off
San Diego in early September 1988, a New York State Supreme Court judge
ruled that the Americans did not live up to the America's Cup Deed of
Gift, which means competing boats must be similar. The judge ruled that
the Americans had an unfair advantage over the monohulled ship, and
awarded the Cup to New Zealand. However, an appeal awarded the Cup to
the United States.
